Tomorrow Water (BKT)

Tomorrow Water, the US subsidiary of BKT Co. Ltd. of South Korea, develops advanced wastewater treatment process technologies from its headquarters in Anaheim, California. The company's core offering is PROTEUS, a biofiltration platform designed for advanced primary treatment and carbon diversion at water resource recovery facilities, enabling operators to shift carbon from the liquid stream to the solids stream for enhanced energy recovery. Their AMX technology implements mainstream partial nitritation-anammox nitrogen removal, demonstrated at Korea's first full-scale PN-Anammox installation with resilience documented under high-sulfate conditions. The DRACO system applies hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) to convert wastewater solids into biocarbon. Additional process technologies include vDAF (vacuum dissolved air flotation), MBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor), and AAD (advanced anaerobic digestion). Tomorrow Water markets two integrated facility concepts: the Co-Flow Campus, which co-locates wastewater treatment with biogas production, smart farming, and data center cooling; and the Integrated Upstream Process (IUP) for process water pretreatment. The company provides turnkey project delivery covering financing, design, construction, operations, and maintenance. Membrane filtration solutions are offered through the affiliated fmxmembrane.com platform. Tomorrow Water was shortlisted for Water Technology Company of the Year at the 2022 Global Water Awards.
